    AI vs Hollywood- Digital Doppelgängers: When Actors Become Data
    Nov 7 2025
    When actors step into a photogrammetry rig, they're not just being photographed—they're being converted into data that can be stored, manipulated, and deployed indefinitely without their presence. Frankie Reel explores the unsettling world of digital doubles, deepfakes, and synthetic performances, from the controversial resurrection of Peter Cushing in Rogue One to Tom Hanks warning fans about fake ads using his likeness. This episode examines the moral maze of digital identity in entertainment: who owns your face after it's been scanned, what happens to actors' likenesses after death, and whether Hollywood's dream of immortal stars might become a nightmare of exploitation. It's not just about technology replacing actors—it's about technology stealing their faces.

Through historical parallels and industry analysis, this episode reveals that AI isn't simply replacing human creativity—it's forcing us to redefine what "creative" means in the first place, and whether the romantic myth of the artist can survive in an age of algorithmic content generation.
